Plus, our top picks to recreate her pre-royalty fashion. The year was 2007. Gossip Girl was in its first season, Tumblr had just launched, the original iPhone was hitting shelves and a young Kate Middleton and Prince William had ended their four-year relationship. They of course reunited three years later and wed in 2011, but before that memorable day, the Duchess of Cambridge was just a girl in her mid-20s, What A Girl Wants-ing her way through London à la Amanda Bynes. Today, the royal’s fashion is appropriately formal. Classic and feminine, the Duchess’s sense of style is sought after by the masses. But the 2000s were a different time, and while Kate Middleton may very well cringe at some of the fashion choices from her single “it” girl era, with the period’s style revival in full swing, we think it’s the perfect time to revisit her pre-royalty ensembles.
